@Gary Crawford why are you choosing Columbus, OH for a rental portfolio?  Do you have connections there?  Do you have a good realtor there?

@Linda Weygant - so my situation is slightly different. I used a business LOC and a HELOC and some credit cards to fund my purchase and rehab. The bank I did the refi with cut my LTV at the last minutes so my proceeds didn't cover all the outstanding credit lines. How would I account for that in QBO? Also, what's with the escrow account? Is that for all the prepaids?

Thanks.

Hello BP - I'm doing a deal that is a double close.  My attorney suddenly doesn't want to create the transactional funding contract that I need to use with my private lender.  Does anyone have a transactional funding contract that I can use?  Thanks.

NJ is the top state in the country for foreclosures still on the market and/or coming to market. These would be bank owned REO's. Are there any West coast investors that can't get inventory that would like to partner with me on some NJ deals? I do flips, and BRRR. Message me, and lets get to know each other.

I've been working with Brandon Kroon since the spring of this year. He is very attentive and always responds to my emails within 24 hours. Although I haven't reached the business credit amounts I was hoping for, they are still working at it, and I look forward to additional lines in the future.

Ok, so this is all confusing to me.  I think I'm trying to do the opposite.  A seller I know wants to sell me his property and do a 1031 exchange.  Can I buy the property and have him take back financing so he can still do the 1031 exchange?
